Believe It Or Not, Ameesha Is 47!

Twenty-three years ago, as a 24 year old, she burst into India's filmi consciousness as a cute teenybopper in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.

A year later, in 2001, she once again wooed the nation as Sakina, the Pakistani girl who falls in love with an Indian man in Gadar: Ek Prem Katha.

Twenty-two years later, she returned in Gadar 2 to steal India's heart as a mother to a grown-up son.

The only thing that causes confusion is that Ameesha Patel doesn't seem to have aged.

The 47 year old's Instagram account is proof!

IMAGE: Now, even the sun is looking at Ameesha.

IMAGE: And she looks right back.

IMAGE: Glamming it up, diva style!

IMAGE: Sometimes, though, she gives her make-up a holiday.

IMAGE: Uff! Idhar dekhoon ki udhar dekhoon.

IMAGE: Would Tara Singh recognise his Sakina?

IMAGE: This lass sure loves her brands.

IMAGE: That, clearly, is Ameesha Patel's state of mind, especially after the success of Gadar 2.
